Some of you may know that I’ve been doing a diploma course in photography. I’ve been learning about all sorts of genres and it has taken me out of my comfort zone, but that was to be expected. Some of it I’ve enjoyed more than other parts but, all the same, I’m getting through the…
Nature Photography Workshop next month
We have a number of new readers amongst us so thought I’d promote this again.

Willow Tree Close up
Have you ever looked really close at a willow tree? I hadn’t, until we shifted to our home where an old one presides at the back of our home. Amazing tree really. And you wouldn’t guess what actually lives on it at different times of the year. I was surprised! I bet you are too….
